I've checked this whole topic and, since I haven't found a problem like this, here goes:

I don't know how this generator works exactly but I think it goes through the whole list once and THEN we choose if we want the more CSS or the animetitle CSS, right? Anyway, the point is that the generator doesn't download a single cover from my list for some reason.



The image shows 0 of 293 items after I've hit Go and waited until I received a message saying "All the entires of F_E_A_R's list were extracted" or something similar (by the way, entries, not entires. A minor correction). So, yeah, that's pretty much it. It says it downloaded them all but it doesn't show a single one. Does anyone know what's the problem?

The app is working, I've checked it. Try to close all MAL pages if you have them opened in your browser and then run the app again. If it will not work then close it and try one more time

For some reason I'm not able to download the APP, every time I try to download it I got this error message: Style_v1_85.zip could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Then if I try to redownload it, the page just goes 404.

Sorry for the inconvenience, can someone provide me a solution?

Yup, that was the problem. After closing everything, it worked perfectly. Thank you

There is a version for developers. I recently updated the bases. But you can't use base's CSS as is. You need to edit it in Notepad

Now there is some troubles. Is some cases the app might not work or work slow because it in blacklist by default. So I need to apply API key which I recently got from MAL

Herm... I just downloaded the app for the first time (the version linked on the main page, v 1.8(.?)5) and am having some difficulties. It is giving me an "invalid user" error for any user I submit.

*EDIT* and now it likes me... I changed nothing lol.

Poking and stabbing crimes have gone up 3452% since I moved into this neighborhood... Someone needs to tell Stephen McPokeman to move, that way it can go down to 3451%.

Every valid username I tried (tried random recent post in this club) works great for me, just downloaded the app when Hahaido post the update and works.

But it's a little slower at the beginning, just to load all the anime list, after that is very quick, and generate all the .css perfect.


I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I'll try in Windows 7 Starter and Ultimate x86 soon.

@Hahaido: I have a request for a feature to add to this generator in the future, when you want to and have time! The request is for the generator to produce "before cover CSS", example linked below. I have improvised a new kinda cover style after requests, where cover pics zoom out from anime titles on hover. It uses "before CSS" to achieve this effect in an easy, non-intrusive way that can be easily customized.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/Club%20layouts/Users/Alextashabefore.css

Its just the "after anime title CSS" which your generator makes, but its been edited into this "before CSS" by replacing some words with others. That was very easy to do. I couldn't use after CSS or regular anime title CSS since it gets inconvenient. Just using "before CSS" works wonderfully well for this tho so far from what I've seen.

It isn't necessary to add such a feature tho, since as I said there a simple technique using wordpad to edit a after CSS into a before CSS. But it would be convenient for those ppl who want to use it in the future!


example of "before CSS" in layout with this cover style:

A new version coming soon! You might haven't noticed but now the app doesn't work with list over 1000 entries. And I've changed the algorythm again so it works faster

I will add this in a new version. I've decided to remove #list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover from .animetitle selector. I think everyone can add visibility property to .animetitle:before and .animetitle:after selectors and put an extra line to CSS with visibility change on hover

Wow great! The type of CSS I've requested I will be calling "Animetitle Zoom" CSS to designate its effect from other cover CSS, since they are going to have similar names and selectors and be confusing. Please name it this in the program if you can! It is only for the layouts that use the effect of covers zooming out from animetitle.

It seems I may need to replace using More CSS for layouts like this
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=563993#PgHfTJVZPvBYHQkl.99

But I have something in mind we can use I call "Hover" CSS which would replace #more CSS for that style. It uses a modded version of after CSS, similarly to how Zoom CSS was a modded version of before CSS. Phew! I will release tutorials on both as soon as I can

I don't fully understand the change

I've decided to remove #list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover from .animetitle selector. I think everyone can add visibility property to .animetitle:before and .animetitle:after selectors and put an extra line to CSS with visibility change on hover

Now generated CSS for .animetitle looks like

#list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover .animetitle
#list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover .animetitle:before
#list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover .animetitle:after

and you asked for .animetitle:before. In new version .animetitle CSS will look like:

.animetitle
.animetitle:before
.animetitle:after

ok so lets say they were using this import
@import "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78340470/animetitle.css";

for this effect
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=453755

Then they only have to make a few changes to use the new type of cover CSS from then on? I can always automatically send updates with those changes to all layouts using this effect since they have the additional "CSS for catgirls/foxgirls" etc import as well so they wouldn't need to apply it themselves. Thats the secret double purpose of them!

Yes. Ppl just need add to their code

.animetitle { background-size: 0; }

table:hover .animetitle { background-size: /* actual size */;}

I think the same. Now I'm testing a new version. It takes 5 seconds to generate covers for 2500+ entries list in hidden mode (if you minimized the app)! If you want to suggest something then do it now!

It does work well! The animetitle CSS is interchangeable with the old ones on the featured premade layouts.

Is there a way to produce a top 5000 most popular covers with this?

You're welcome! You deserve all the credit for this amazing program. :)

Hmmm.. I might try that version for developers. I'll test it out later. Thanks. I just think that this version feels like it's more convenient for me since the time required to generate covers for my lists takes only a second or less if I minimize the program. And most of the entries (in this case, manga entries) I add are newly added entries everyday which won't show up in the top 5000 (or 10000) for quite some time.

Besides, I'm already more familiar with this version. :)
